Sociology and Peeps

As an extra-credit project in her intro to sociology class at Western Illinois University, sociologist Chris Adamski-Mietus is having students use Peeps to create dioramas demonstrating sociological concepts. An article about it is available here: “Peeps shake up sociology, inspire student creativity.”

I couldn’t find any pictures online, but here’s a link to the Washington Post story that inspired it, “Peeps are People,” which reports on their 3rd annual Peeps diorama contest. And here’s a link to a slideshow for that contest, “Peeps Show III.”
